yeah, it's tough on my parents too... I feel so ashamed sometimes that I have this stupid illness. It's been 10 years for me and my parents still don't understand. They know I hear mean voices but I don't think they have a clue as to what I'm going thru.
My Dad says he hates God because I got schizophrenia. I just wish I could get cured.
I catch my Mom staring off sometimes with a sad little look on her face. I know that sometimes it's me she's thinking about. Why did this happen? Why can't I get better? etc.
I guess it's not my fault but I still feel awfully guilty sometimes for sharing my problems with my parents. Sometimes I need to talk about it... but I really don't want to make them worry.
